It was a rough Monday all around with nearly every show down. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars came crashing back down from Disney week as it fell 1.5 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Castle was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo as news of major cast shakeups for a possible ninth season came out yesterday. On CBS, the season finale of Supergirl was even with last week. Though it hasn't been officially renewed, I think it will definitely come back but perhaps not in the same timeslot. At 9pm, Scorpion was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, The Voice continued to inch down, dropping three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Blindspot was even in viewers and back down a tenth in the demo. This should not get to keep the Monday 10pm slot next season. Finally on FOX, Gotham was even with last week while the only bright spot of the whole night belonged to Lucifer, which rose four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This is the first time it built on Gotham in the demo. It definitely earned its recent renewal with this performance.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Lucifer (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Dancing with the Stars (ABC)
